CH.405 Beast fight
As I stood before the superior spirit of beasts, I was looking over her form, trying to predict how she would attack. I wasn’t all that good at it, but I’ve learned so things from the practice against my monsters. And it isn’t like I never spar with Einar and Eline, though when I do, it is usually so that I can practice holding back so I don’t accidentally kill soone with one punch. I an, if I did seriously punch soone that had a low level, they would die. But those practice fights have given so insight into how cat-folk usually fight. Then again, I have no idea if this spirit fights like that just because she looks like a cat girl.
Seeing that she was ready to go, I decided to take the first move and rushed forward, boosting my speed with Telekinesis. I wasn’t using any magic yet, as I really don’t want to use Spirit Magic in the spirit world, as the lesser and interdiate spirits would want to help do what I want the magic to do, so it would be a bit too cheaty. And even if I used Ti or Space Magic, now that I have the blessings from Iris and Lachros, it is likely that lesser and interdiate ti spirits would try to help with it. And I’d rather not test out my boosted Ti and Space Magics while I’m fighting soone.
With my feather sword, I went in for a quick stab. Stabbing with a curved single edged sword might not be the most efficient, but it will work. Well, it would work if the cat girl I was fighting didn’t parry my sword to the left with her hands, leaving open for her counter attack. And with my shield on the wrong side, it would be difficult for to block using it.
Instead, I again used Telekinesis and used it to move myself away from my opponent. But just because I was able to avoid her counter doesn’t an I was clear, as she was now coming at . She pushed off with her hind legs, before running at on all fours. And as she did, her body changed from that of a cat girl into a full on tiger.
So she can turn herself into a full beast. I would say interesting, but I really don’t have the ti for it, with a tiger pouncing at .
I moved a bit to my right, while also covering the tiger with my ice shield. She slashed at the shield, leaving so nice claw marks into it, but my shield didn’t shatter, so that is at least good.
I then looked as the tiger turned back into the cat girl.
“Alright. So now we know how serious we need to be, right?” She asked.
“I suppose so. I have to say, didn’t expect you to turn into a tiger.”
“That isn’t the only surprise in store for you.” The cat girl said with a grin on her face.
She then again lunged at , while transforming back into a tiger, but this ti, I felt like sothing was off. Sadly I didn’t have ti to realize what it was, as I had to avoid her charge. It was then that I noticed that instead of a regular tail, the tiger had a tail that looked like a snake, which went in for a bite after I had avoided the charge.
Trying to fend off the snake with my sword, I slashed at it, but the snake was too fast and ca in for a bite. It sunk its fangs into my shoulder, but I didn’t cry out. Instead, I took the ti it was stuck to to again slash at the tail snake and completely cut it off the spirit. I then dropped my shield so that my left arm would be free, before I grabbed the severed snake and tossed it to the side.
I quickly checked my status, mainly to see if my HP was draining. I wanted to know if that snake had venom in it. But while my HP had taken a small hit, it wasn’t draining down, so likely no poison.
“Not bad.” The tiger snarled. “But my tail will regrow.”
“Yeah, expected as much.” I answered honestly. “But your bite didn’t have poison in it, so I think I got the better of that trade.”
“You think so?” She asked, and I swear I could see the tiger smirking.
As she did, I felt a weakness run across my body. I quickly realized that the bite didn’t have any venom in it, but it did have so sort of paralyzing poison.
Before I had the ti to really think about how I’d deal with it, I was starting to go numb in my limbs. I took a hold of my body with Telekinesis so that I wouldn’t fall over, but this wasn’t a good situation. With my limbs paralyzed, all I can really do is move myself with Telekinesis. And with just it, I won’t be able to keep up with the speed of the superior spirit.
The tiger didn’t give too much ti to get used to my new predicant, as she once again ca at . I was going to use Telekinesis again, until I rembered that I have a new-ish skill that is better for binding enemies than Telekinesis. I produced as many Dark Chains as I could, before I used them to make a wall of Dark Chains between myself and the tiger. The spirit tried to slash all of them, but as the chains are mana constructs, and the spirit world is made of pure mana, they were quite a bit tougher than they would be in the regular world. So while a few of them did break, my chain wall stood.
I then fired multiple chains from the wall towards the tiger, causing her to have to backpedal so that she wouldn’t be caught in them.
I then realized what the paralyzing poison did to . It effectively forced into defense position, right? I an, I can’t move, but I can defend myself, so defense position does check out.
So as fast as I could, I got Stop Defense out of my Collection and activated it, forcing myself back into ‘attack position’, clearing away the paralyzing poison at the sa ti.
